Trezor Suite — Getting Started

This presentation-style page walks you step-by-step through setting up your Trezor device and the official Trezor Suite app. It highlights critical safety checks, recovery/backup guidance, and links to official resources.

1 — What is Trezor Suite?

Secure interface for your hardware wallet

Trezor Suite is the official desktop & web application to manage Trezor hardware wallets. It provides portfolio overviews, receive/send flows, firmware management, and settings for advanced security. Use the Suite app to keep keys offline while interacting with chains or exchanges.

Why use the official Suite?

• Verified downloads and signatures to avoid tampered software.
• Integrated firmware updates and device checks.
• Clear flows for backups, PIN, and device recovery.

2 — Before you begin

Checklist

• Unbox your Trezor and confirm tamper-free packaging.
• Have a computer (desktop recommended) or supported browser for web Suite.
• Paper or metal backup for your wallet backup (do not store digitally).
• Allocate ~15 minutes for initial setup and firmware install.

Important safety note

Never enter your wallet backup into a computer, phone, cloud or photo. Keep it offline and physically secure.

3 — Step-by-step setup (quick)

Step 1: Download & verify Trezor Suite

Get Trezor Suite from the official site. Verify checksums/signatures if available before installation to ensure authenticity.

Step 2: Connect & install firmware

Plug your device in. New devices typically require firmware installation through the Suite. Follow on-screen prompts; do not use a device if packaging shows tampering.

Step 3: Create a wallet backup

When prompted, write down the wallet backup (seed) as given by the device. Trezor emphasizes storing backups offline and understanding the new phrasing “wallet backup”.

Step 4: Set a PIN & label

Choose a PIN for the device (this is entered on-device). Label your device in Suite so you can distinguish multiple devices if needed.

Step 5: Move funds

Test with a small transfer first. Use the Receive flow in Suite to generate addresses — verify on-device before sharing them or sending funds.

4 — Advanced & maintenance

Firmware updates & device checks

Keep firmware current using the Suite. Always follow official update flows and verify the update prompts on the device screen before confirming.

Backups and recovery

Learn how to use and protect your wallet backup. Consider hardware backup options (e.g., metal seed storage) for long-term durability.

Multi-share and advanced backups

For high-value holdings, evaluate multi-share or multi-sig solutions available in the ecosystem; follow Trezor guides for recommended workflows.

5 — Do’s & Don’ts (quick reference)

Do

• Download Suite from the official domain.
• Verify firmware and Suite binaries when possible.
• Test a small on-chain transaction first.

Don’t

• Store your backup digitally (screenshots, cloud, email).
• Share your wallet backup or PIN with anyone—even “support” callers.
• Use third-party installers unless verified by Trezor.

6 — Official links (10)

Use these official pages for downloads, guides, and support.

7 — Final tips & next steps

Keep your device firmware and Suite app up to date, store your backup offline in a durable medium, and only use official downloads. If unsure about a flow, consult the official support page or book a Trezor Expert session.
